What happens after August Results Day?

If you meet your required grades:

Unipol Student Homes will contact you about moving in dates and key collection.

If you don’t meet your required grades:

Inform us by email at accommodation@lcm.ac.uk no later than 22 August 2019 so your room can be re-allocated, otherwise you could be liable for the whole years’ rent.

Your deposit will be returned to you in full.

What if my application for accommodation is unsuccessful?

If you apply for a room and One Mill Street is full, we will keep a small waiting list in case of vacancies at the last minute, but you will also be supplied with a list of alternatives.

Usually there are very few withdrawals, so most people will be better applying to other places if they haven’t got a room.

When can I move in?

The starting date of your tenancy will be confirmed on your tenancy document.

How to cancel accommodation

The Tenancy Agreement you will sign is a legally binding document and you will be contractually obliged to pay the rent for the full tenancy period. Under normal circumstances, you will not be released from your contractual obligations even if you leave your course of study and move away from Leeds.

Once you have signed the Tenancy Agreement, the only acceptable reason for withdrawal will be if you have a conditional offer and don’t get the grades you require to commence your course of study. If this is the case, you must inform us by email at accommodation@lcm.ac.uk before 22 August 2019 so your room can be reallocated. Failure to inform us by this date may result in you being liable for the full year’s rent. Should serious personal reasons prevent you from taking up your place of study, please contact us for advice.

We strongly advise you do not apply to live in One Mill Street if you have any doubt that Leeds College of Music is your preferred choice, or you think you may not get the required grades. Please carefully read the terms of the Unipol Student Homes Cancellation Policy.
